Joachim von Ribbentrop: Difference between revisions

Joachim von Ribbentrop was the first of the Nazis at Nuremberg to be executed on October 16th, 1946. He repeneted for his sins and was communed by Henry Gerecke. His last words were "God protect Germany. God have mercy on my soul. My final wish is that Germany should recover her unity and that, for the sake of peace, there should be understanding between East and West. I wish peace to the world." Nuremberg Prison Commandant Burton C. Andrus later recalled that, immediately before the hood was placed over his head, Ribbentrop turned to the prison's Lutheran chaplain and whispered, "I'll see you again."
